I know Ethiopian food and its very good. In Mesob, I had an Ethiopian food and it was very very very good. Nice atmosphere and kind hosts. Get some spicy paste or powder on the side, it is unique.
- Nastassia AguileraMarch 21, 2016I loved the vegetarian sampler! You pick 6 options from the vegetarian menu and they serve a good portion of each choice. Plus, it's all prepared vegan style! I'll be back very soon! (:
Will TowerMay 7, 2018Excellent, friendly service and delicious food! I recommend the Shrimp Tibs. BYOB with no corking fee to boot.

Jackie DMarch 14, 2013Mesob is my favorite restaurant in Montclair! The food is amazing, as is the ambiance & staff. I recommend the collard greens, red & brown lentils, chick pea biscuits, & everything else in the menu!
Nina H.August 24, 2012I lived in little Ethiopia in DC and I can say that Mesob does a great job w Ethiopian cuisine. Great atmosphere, staff and most importantly, food. (Mushrooms tibs= amazing!) Also it is byob!- James KiernanAugust 26, 2022Can’t believe it took us 5 years living in Montclair to make it to this establishment. Outstanding by all accounts - cuisine, friendly service, value! Enjoy!!
Jeffrey WuSeptember 1, 2018Surprise! Ethiopian cuisine? It’s fantastic. Real Ethiopian folks and they know food well. Found it by accident, but it’s going to be a staple now, if I’m in NJ.
Joseph HickmanJuly 24, 2014A wonderful meal. Fish was superb! Vegetables were served with plenty of injerra. Server was helpful, attentive and cute. The Ethiopian coffee is wonderful!

Meltem Aygunoglu OzgulbasJune 5, 2014This place is amazing.it was my first experience to Ethiopian food it was very delicious.try the meat sampler.enjoy😀
Cheyenne PaydarSeptember 25, 2016Everything is amazing. I always get the doro tibs with azeefa and misir wet but you'd be satisfied with any of it.
Get one of the sampler platters, order dessert (almond cake or sesame paste) and def get the special coffee!!!
Oscar F.November 25, 2010Amazing food. Vegetarian friendly. BYOB like most of the area. Great staff. Order the Mesob Ethiopian coffee which is served in a gourd. It's some of the best tasting coffee I've ever had.
Mikaela LewisAugust 22, 2021Split the meat sampler. We loved the chickpea and collared green sides. 2 of the meat dishes were only okay (too much sour for us personally).
can't go wrong with anything you order. gluten free injira is what's up.
shiftySeptember 5, 2011They have a brunch on weekends which is really good if you are a little adventurous and don't need the same-old, same-old.
The sampler appetizer for 2 and the cubed beef are amazing. Get the mushrooms with your dinner as well. Spicy and delicious!
April MazzollaJanuary 30, 2012Appetizers Sampler is amazing...also the Lamb entrees are sooooo good! Highly recommended!!

Make sure you order their black lentils they are really very good.
Erdal TurnaciogluMarch 21, 2011One of the best restaurants in Montclair, it was my introduction to Ethiopian food and now I love it!- Try their new VEGAN Dark Chocolate dessert sampler - Love the berbere one!
Jennifer SmithSeptember 9, 2010this place is delicious! The Raw kitfo, butcha, and doro tibs are NOT to be missed!!
Itamar KestenbaumJanuary 16, 2010Cubed beef is the bomb! You've got to try the choc espresso torte at the end, too!- Thanks for the special offer :) I had my free 3rd side dish tonight and now the lentils are my favorite!
If you're a coffee lover, splurge on the Ethiopian coffee, it's worth it!
Bela FlorenthalOctober 9, 2010Vegetarian plate is great. Eating with hands no utensils is interesting
KatariinaDecember 5, 2011Just read from the window that almost half their menu is vegan! Need to get back in here.
